Confidence Boosting -- 10/20 Hand #4 (of 4)
When I play poker I like playing confidently, and October did a good job of tearing away some confidence so the last few days I have been playing 8-tables of 10/20 6max to regain that necessary swagger, and along with that, analyzing my game more closely. Here is a a checkup hand from those first 3000 hands of playing this game:
5 handed. I raise Jh9h UTG. Button 3 bets. BB calls I call. Flop Jc 7s 2h. BB checks, I check, button bets, BB raises, I 3 bet, button folds, BB calls. I am pretty sure I'm going to check any turn but a 9 or maybe a jack. Turn Qh. BB checks, I check. River 6c. BB checks, I bet. Assume no reads for this hand or any hands I post, though I am playing 33/23.5/2.0 style and some opponents may or may not be noticing this. |

i have no idea what you are doing here. if you think you are behind, as the turn check indicates, why do you 3bet the flop?

This looks okay to me though I think I'd rather bet/fold the turn and check behind an UI river. Why did you choose your line over that one?

can't fold the turn with the heart draw, but he said he'd check ANY turn a priori so I'm curious as well.

Ah yeah I missed the hearts. That makes the check look good. Still what I said stands about bet/folding for free SD on a blank. Don't see why that wouldn't be better than his line.

[/ QUOTE ] I think he thinks he is behind more than half the time, but not enough that he should fold. The turn 3 bet gives information, folds buttons overcards, and often allows him to get to sd cheaper by a turn or river check. I think this is a reall good line here (well not exactly but we'll get to that) because it looks like hero is ahead maybe 30-40% of the time. This is enough to continue, especially since you will often have outs if you arent ahead, but not enough to value bet with. As for the turn check, I agree with Dane 100%. I like the check with the heart draw, but what if a blank had hit? |
